Of the guitarists I know who choose SG-style guitars as their main or one of their main guitars, Derek Trucks is my third fave, behind Kim Thayil and Tony Iommi.

Personally, I can't say I'm a big fan of the SG shape. I have a SG-shsped hollowbody JKG, but other than it, I've only seen a handful of them that made me want to buy one- there's dark sparkling blue Gibson out there that appeals, and the US Masters Hornet.

I'm not a huge fan of SG's. Until recently I thought they were ugly, but they have grown on me a bit.

I tried an Epiphone one once, which is a pretty cheap one, and disliked the feel of the neck heel.

But that was years ago and I probably play different now.

Does any one have an opinion on Chapman guitars? They seem to have some good reviews, are a great price and will be easy to get in the UK. The Les Paulish guitars they have also seem a bit slimmer and smaller than a Gibson to, which I may prefer.
